Princess Jamila: Camel Racing is No Longer Exclusive to Men
For the first time in Saudi Arabia, a camel owned by a woman will be completing in an official race, as reported by a senior figure in the sport on Friday.
Fahd bin Hithleen, chairman of the board of directors of the Saudi Camel Club and the newly appointed president of the International Camel Organization (ICO), added that this race is part of the closing day of the King Abdul Aziz Camel Festival taking place on the outskirts of Riyadh, the race that began earlier on Feb. 5 and is ending today.
“The camel race will end this Saturday with the participation of the first female in camel racing,” Hithleen tweeted: “I congratulate Princess Jamila Bint Abdulmajeed bin Saud bin Abdulaziz for breaking into the camel world and wish her all the success.”
King Salman will be attending the festival finale today.
Princess Jamila said that camel racing is no longer exclusive to men, and that with the ongoing reforms that the country has been witnessing regarding gender equality and empowering women in the country, this comes to continue opening up new opportunities for Saudi women across the Kingdom.
On Thursday, The Kingdom established the ICO, which is a one of a kind global group for camels, with representatives participating from 96 countries.
Riyadh was chosen as the location for its HQ and Hithleen was appointed to serve as its first president for the upcoming five years.
